Post-Game: Giants Take Pitches, Score Runs, Lock Real Giants in Broom Closet

I just realized that I'm using a kind of Pascal's Wager to determine how I should feel that the Giants are still flirting with the playoffs:

I believe that the Giants are in this thing I'm very, very skeptical that the Giants are in this thing.
Giants prove they are in this thing I'm excited! I'm excited!
Giants prove they are not in this thing I'm devastated. Meh.

 

I'm not being a cynical jerk; I'm only being coldly rational. Maybe a little cynically jerkish, I suppose. And as the Giants prove that they are, in fact, not quite out of this thing, and that they may indeed even qualify as a team that can be described as in this thing, I'm getting kind of excited. The team is still crazy flawed, but a win tomorrow would really make something out of what was previously nothing. Go Giants.

Probably not

Bochy said in the post game Edgar is playing tomorrow. So that means for Garko to play they’d have to bench Pablo (not happening), Uribe (not happening), or Sanchez (possible, I guess). But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say they go with Sandoval at 1st and Garko does not play.

so, btw

Schierholtz sucks. A .306 OBP from a RF is terrible aweful.
To put it in perspective, his wOBA is .307. Winn’s is .306. They are both terrible and should be riding the pine.

Best Giants OF is probably Torres/Velez-Rowand-Lewis.

Although I can literally NOT believe Velez is out hitting either Winn or Schierholtz, let alone both of them.

I know Schierholtz is hitting very poorly but he’s had sporadic playing time during a slump. I think he could still hit to his ZIPs projection (.296/.329/.461) if he actually got consistent playing time. I’m not a HUGE fan of Nate but he’s been treated about as well this season as Fred Lewis and John Bowker. It seems ridiculous to write him off completely because of that.

by jponry on Sep 16, 2009 10:07 AM PDT up reply actions  

his revised Zips

including his ~300 PAs this year gives him a projected wOBA of .313, and OBP of .307 or something.
Now, the only good thing I can say about that is that it’s better than Winn’s projected wOBA of .311.

It’s not like he’s been Frandsened or Bowkerized. He’s gotten 300 PAs and started almost 60 games.
Fred Lewis, on the other hand is poised to hit his projected .339 wOBA, clutch stats be damned. His fielding has also been above average by UZR (although LF is easier to play than RF).

Bochy already said Renteria’s gonna play SS tomorrow, so the only way Garko gets in there is if they bench Sanchez. Which I would be fine with, but I sincerely doubt that it happens.

Please look these things up, it's not that hard.

Giants offense:

year wOBA
2006 .319
2007 .311
2008 .309
2009 .304

Note that 2006 we still had the Good Barry. Well, that’s not totally fair. Zito has been solid this year.

So, Zito looked great tonight. His curve was excellent. Spotted his fastball. Gave up some loud outs towards the end, but no harm done. He was a joy to watch.

1 BB , 9 Ks. Awesome. Good job, Barry. Good job.

I like this idea. My step sis has already said she could get tickets to any game they play against the A’s for me, or any interleague ones against the Giants.

I politely declined the A’s-Rangers tickets.
